Recently on Twitter, someone put out a desperate call asking for help. She tweeted, “An unni I know is suffering from acute osteomyelodysplasia, but it’s recently gotten much worse. In addition, she doesn’t match any of her siblings, so she can’t receive bone-marrow transplant from them, and will have to under go surgery. She is also undergoing anti-cancer treatment and this surgery will not be covered by insurance, so she is having a really tough time. In order to keep receiving blood transfusions, she needs a lot of blood donor cards! Please help ㅠㅠ.” (In Korea, a person with a blood donor card is able to receive one unit of blood free of charge)

Donghae happened to see her tweet while browsing on Twitter, and responded, “Hello, this is Super Junior’s Donghae. I’m contacting you after seeing your message. This is about the blood donor card, so if you could tell me your phone number, I’ll be in touch.”

Touched by his message, the girl responded expressing her gratitude and revealed that she happened to be a fan. This exchange caught the attention of the Korean Red Cross, who tweeted, “Wow.. Donghae, you are so cool”.

Netizens seeing Donghae’s kind gesture commented, “Donghae, you are an angel,” “He is so kind hearted!” and “You’ve inspired me to do the same.”

Recently, Super Junior has graced the stages with their 5th album, “Mr. Simple” and now as a thank you to fans, they have released a repackaged album with four new songs! This repackaged album is half synthpop and half ballad.

Known as the one of the biggest boy bands in Korea, Super Junior has been around since 2005 and have been releasing hit after hit. There will be no surprise if “A-Cha” doesn’t join the ranks with songs such as, “Don’t Don,”“Bonamana,” and “Sorry, Sorry.”

Dominating charts and sweeping trophies for weeks on end with “Mr. Simple,” Super Junior is gearing up to do it all over again with “A-Cha“! So let’s get right into the review.

“A-Cha” – their title track with rock and electro-based beats.

–

My initial listen to the song lead me to think it sounded just like what Super Junior has been producing lately – nothing special. So I decided to give it a second try (and third, fourth and fifth.) So as you can tell, it took a while to rub off on me but eventually it did. With strong electro beats, heavy synth and drums, this song is proving to be a power house. The best part of the song is the catchy chorus and the raps done byEunhyuk and Shindong. Overall, “A-Cha” proves to be a force to be reckoned with.

3.0/5

“Oops!!” – feat. f(x). “as soon as they open their mouths, they go all out.”

–

“Oops!!” is fun, fresh and lively. Featuring the members of f(x), this electro synth track displays the rapping talents of Eunhyuk, Shindong, Donghae, Leeteuk, and Heechul. Written by those members, the lyrics purely express cockiness and superiority with lines such as, “When I’m on TV, girls watch the real-time broadcast, are you watching- Choi Siwon?” and “My words are the truth- the law of the entire world. I’m the president of the girls.” This track is a must listen – one of their best!

4.0/5

“A Day” – mature ballad. You are beautiful, eye-blinding.

–

Pure, soft and mature, “A Day” has it all. Moving away from their electro pop songs they are usually known for, they produce a ballad as beautiful as they could come. With a guitar as the main instrument in this track, it gives off an acoustic feel which jumps right into a head swaying chorus. Ryeowook andKyuhyun’s voices shine and the lyrics show off a story of pure love. A song perfect for a new couple.

4.0/5

“Adante” – beautiful and emotional ballad.

–

Super Junior-M member Henry teamed up with Leeteuk to compose “Andante,” an emotional ballad telling a story of heartbreak. Sung by the lead singers of the group, it shows off Yesung and Sungmin’svocals which were spot on. With such sorrowful lyrics, you can really feel the emotion and heartbreak in the boys’ voices as you listen. This makes me wonder if they have any personal feelings attached to this track. With an acoustic feel to the beat, it’s a song that makes you want to reflect and look within yourself while feeling the beat flow through your body. Absolutely touched, they couldn’t have chosen a better song for this repackaged album.

4.5/5

As Super Junior gears up to start promoting this repackaged album, we should expect to see exciting and new stages from our Korea’s biggest boy band. They stick to what works and produce amazing ballads. “A-Cha” proves to be an amazing addition to Super Junior’s album record.

Overall Rating: 4.0/5 – the ballads are amazing and they always please with their title tracks.
